both choices can be logical, the question is more a dilemma than anything and gets at game theory

technically if everyone chose red everyone also survives. But blue also ensures survival for everyone

Agree. It does contain framing

But the framing is part of the question on purpose. Even if you understand that picking red is the best choice to ensure both your survival and everyone else’s survival, understanding that most will pick blue should motivate you to do the same.

Not necessarily. It’s not a given that most will pick blue. It happens to be the case in this poll here. And in that instant where you are asked to make that decision that’s not necessarily the immediate conclusion everyone would jump to

Unfortunately I don’t believe most people will pick blue, so I’m not gonna pick the “kill yourself” button

The results from this poll, and the results from every other poll like it, say that you’re wrong.

If most people will pick blue then picking red doesn’t really matter.

Yeah but red isn’t guaranteed, if you pick that, you’re picking that either you or someone else dies. Blue everyone lives, red someone dies. So if you consciously choose red, that means you want to watch the world burn, because you’re throwing away someone’s life for no reason, other than you felt like choosing red.

I’m not throwing away anyone’s life by picking red, they are throwing it away by picking blue

In game theory terms, the choice reflects beliefs about others’ behavior under uncertainty, not moral intent. There’s no binary reasoning here despite the fact that the choice is between two arbitrary colors. Not many secondary or tertiary conclusions can be drawn about intent and there is no direct line between reasoning/intent and outcomes here

First off this poll is only a small sample of the entire world population. Second off. I have seen polls where red is the majority so I stand by what I said

If the world is majority red then it’s not a world I want to live in the first place
